“Please ma, we're very sorry,” they pleaded with their knees to the ground and their voices in harmony. But Nova didn't seem like she was ready to change her mind. She was totally shut and paid no attention to them. They were unfortunate to get caught gossiping about Nova. Noca was seriously pissed and decided to make them pay. She had gone cold, and their pleas were resting on deaf ears. “Gossips, huh. That's what you two do in this firm. Instead of working, you make use of your time gossiping,” Nova highlighted, angrily staring at the both of them. “No, ma. We are very sorry. This won't repeat itself again, ma,” they kept pleading as they swept the floor with their dresses. Nova ignored them and went cold as she searched her bag, seriously looking for her office card, which she would use to open the door to her office. “Is she paying attention to us?” One of them whispered discreetly. “Of course I am. But your pleas mean nothing to me. You both are fired anyway. I guess this

Nova wore a soft smile as she watched Jane take a seat. She was clearly happy to see her, and so was Jane. Their smiles beaming with every excitement that came with it. “You look gorgeous anyway,” Jane complimented Nova, forcing her to blush lightly. “Thanks, darling. You've made my day. Compared to that sick psycho that just left my office,” Nova sighed, furiously glaring at the door. “Tell me about it,” Jane smiled softly, giving Nova a soft nudge on her shoulder. “You won't believe it. She came into my office this morning, neglecting what she actually came here for. Just to lecture me about my character,” Jane let out a rather sarcastic laughter. “What does she know about character development? She sucks at relationships with people,” Jane mocked while trying her best not to laugh so hard. Nova snapped her finger in affirmation. “That's right. Do you see the way she speaks to clients? She's literally the rudest staff we have in this firm,” Nova chuckled. “You're right. I no

Nova glared at Jane, a wave of shock surging through her spine. “What do you mean?” Nova asked, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Jane chuckled, laughing like she had just heard a joke. “You should have seen your face. You looked so pathetic,” Jane teased. Nova still looked confused, her expression looking very perplexed. “I don't understand.” “Easy Nova. I was just teasing. I am just trying to say that I want a man who will treat me the same way Eryx treats you. I want him sooner,” Jane said, seductively biting her lips as she winked at Nova. “You shouldn't be playing with something as sensitive as that,” Nova warned, her expression looking perplexed. “Relax, Nova. Nobody is taking your man from you. Not me anyway. Trust me,” Jane said, softly patting her on her shoulder. Nova was still disturbed about her reply, but she decided to allow the subject to die. There was no use of dwelling on it anyway. Nova and Jane finished up with their meal, and retired back to work. When

Nova's face was very confused. Her amnesia wasn't helping at all. What do you mean “betray you like I did before?” Her brows sprang up demanding some explanations.Exyx ran his hands through his hair for the upteenth time. It was his plan to feed her with more lies. Because as far he was concerned she was never going to get her memories back.“Of course you can't remember Nova”. His eyes watered with pretentious years and his voice quivered like a child whose candy had been stolen.“Would you believe it if I had told you that you cheated on me with zephyr?” His voice sounded bitter.“What?” Nova couldn't believe she would do something like this to her fiance. How could she have done that? From her little time she spent with him after her amnesia she felt she could trust him. Her guts says so. But maybe she never heard of the saying “ your guts cannot be trusted”.“I.. I don't know what to say, I can't even remember”. She took a step towards him. But he stepped back.“It's okay flower.

“You know no matter how Eryx actually tries, he can never be as good as you, zephyr. You have the Brains and everything. It's like a package you were born with”. Alex explained with hand gestures.“So…. How does this help me get back at him?” The impatience in his voice could not be ignored.“I am not done, zeph. If you can just keep quiet for a second, then maybe you would have heard what I actually want to say”. Alex said with clenched teeth. He doesn't really like the way Zephyr is behaving.Zephyr nodded. The only people who could actually speak to him this way were his close friends, his mother and his love Nova. Any other person would be immediately buried alive.Alex took a deep sigh before he continued to speak. “I recently found out that he has been struggling to put the business together. And he has gotten himself in some illegal contracts and embezzlement”.“Now he wants Nova to come into a serene neighborhood to promote the company. And that neighborhood happens to be the g

“Don't you know how to do your damn work. Eryx yelled over the phone. You know how much this deal means to me and don”. He said, referring to an underground boss.“I….I am so sorry sir. I am going to fix this”. A timid voice behind the phone panicked.“You fucking do that. Or else your wretched mother won't make it to another day”. He threatened without mercy nor without a flinch in his face.As soon as he finished talking, he slammed the phone to the floor. “FUCK, FUCK”. he yelled out. This wasn't the plan. Why was the business having problems in his tenure? The only thing he did was gamble a little. How did it end up affecting him? He thought In silence.But maybe he should have asked himself what he gambled or his condition of gambling. He gambled into partnership with the Mafia.He remembered vividly how it all played out. At first he was boasting about how good he was at these games and how no one could beat him. Even the don. “If I lose I will give up the Lockwood, holdings and f

The screeching of the door followed as Nova walked in, looking quite perplexed. Her eyebrows furrowed deeply as she glared at Eryx, in towards bewilderment of her environment. “What is going on? You were yelling loudly on the phone. Who was that?” She inquired, her tone laced with utter urgency. Her eyes immediately caught Eryx's broken phone, which lay on the floor. She then took a glance at Eryx. His furious eyes glared right at the shattered phone on the ground. Nice quickly took reseeding steps, creating a distance between Eryx and herself. She gasped in shock as her mouth was left open, yet no words could come out. Eryx, noticing Nova's presence, quickly forced a smile on his face, rubbing his hair lightly as he turned to her. He cleared his throat, locking his gaze onto Nova. “It's nothing. I'm fine,” he assured, patting her shoulder softly as he attempted to leave the room. Nova quickly grabbed his hand, forcing him to turn towards her again. Eryx glared furiously, ev

Besides, it's all she's got in a situation like this. “I'll get you a glass of water,” Eryx said, leaving the sitting room as he headed towards the kitchen. Nova's countenance was utterly perplexed, and a deep frown edged on her face as her mind reeled about several thoughts. Eryx has been good to her, and he has done nothing but look after her, but the sudden doubts are quite disturbing. “I must be overthinking,” she shook her head as she relaxed on the sofa. “Did you say something?” Eryx asked as he offered her a glass of water. Nova accepted it, but quickly let go of the cup as she felt another sharp sensation on her head. “What's going on?” Eryx panicked, helplessly trying to help her calm down. Nova screamed incessantly as she dealt with the excruciating pain on her head. “Hey mum, I'll love you to fix my favourite dish,” little Nova said, walking in to meet her mother in the kitchen. “What's your favourite dish, pumpkin?” Her mother asked, kneeling down to meet her heig

Zephyr narrowed his gaze, glaring at Nova who stood few inches away from him. “What plan are you talking about?” He asked calmly. Nova's face hardened, her gaze firmly fixated on Zephyr. “I know you've laid plans to have me back and end up destroying Eryx’ life,” she claimed. “And who told you all this?” Zephyr maintained an incredibly calm demeanour. “I just want to tell you that I won't let any of that happen. No matter how hard you try, you're just going to end up ruining everything for yourself,” she added. Zephyr's eyes darted across the restroom, and he pointed towards a sign boldly written on the wall. “MEN ONLY,” the sign read. “What do you want to see inside here?” Zephyr scoffed, walking into the toilet. Nova's face took a deep frown, her eyebrows furrowed deeply, and her heart boiled with great rage. “Pervert!” She slammed her hand against the wall and walked out angrily. Nova felt utterly insulted and disgraced before him. “He dared to speak to me in such a man

The gates opened, allowing Kevin to drive his car into the house. He alighted from his car, glaring at the mansion before him. He rolled his car key between his fingers, whistling as he slowly walked into the house. “Uncle!” Xavier rushed to Kevin as he entered the house, his smile beaming incessantly as he hugged him. Kevin bent his knee, reducing his height to meet Xavier. “You're now all grown, Xavier,” he said, a soft smile registered on his face. “Here. I got you this,” Kevin added, handing him a box of chocolate. “You shouldn't have gone through the stress if getting him something,” Zephyr said, walking down the stairs into the sitting room. “Zephyr. What a pleasure to see you,” Kevin said, giving him a warm hug. Zephyr's smile wouldn't stop beaming as he was very happy to see Kevin. “Xavier, go at your room with your nanny,” Zephyr ordered softly. He nodded and quickly followed his nanny to his room, leaving them alone in the sitting room. Kevin sat on the couch, cr

Breathing heavily and enraged, Eryx frustratingly got out of his car, violently shutting the door behind him. Nova gasped in shock, startled by Eryx’ sudden behaviour. She hasn't seen Eryx in this mood before.Meanwhile, Eryx was less concerned about Nova at the moment. The message from the Mafia Don destabilised him, and he was left in a fix, thinking of his next course of action. Eryx rubbed his head vigorously, trying so hard to think of his next action. He restlessly paced to and fro, his mind reeling with several thoughts. He kicked hard against the tire. “Arghhh!!” He yelled angrily. Nova just sat in the car, watching Eryx display an act of utter frustration. She just couldn't get over the image she saw during her memory flash. She was confused at this moment and definitely didn't know if Eryx was to be trusted. Eryx quickly braised himself, adjusting his tie and making his hair look in place. He briskly walked towards Kevin's office, walking in gently as he shut the

*****8“Alright, that's great,” Eryx heaved a deep sigh of relief as he dropped the phone call. “Any good news?” Nova inquired, glaring at Eryx’ stressed expression. Eryx crashed onto the sofa, taking a seat next to Nova. “Yes. The mayor has agreed to meet up with us. I was able to schedule another appointment with him,” Eryx replied. “If he misbehaves again, I won't be slow to put him in his place,” Nova said angrily. The thought of returning to meet Kevin was actually irritating to her. Nova felt like scheduling another meeting with him was synonymous to licking his feet. But what choice did they have anyway. He was the only way to achieve what they came to Greenfield city for. Tie knotted, shirt neatly ironed, shoes well polished, and dress neatly worn. Nova and Eryx briskly walked towards Kevin's office, set out to reach their goal for the day. “Here, have a seat,” Kevin's smile greeted them as they entered his office. Eryx quickly accepted the gesture. But Nova persiste

“What do you mean? Who are you talking about?” Nova asked angrily, surprised by Kevin's courage to have asked that question in the first place. “I mean Eryx. Do you trust him?” He persisted. “I don't understand? Why shouldn't I trust him?” Nova inquired. “There's more to Eryx that meets the eyes,” Kevin highlighted. Nova's eyes were fixated onto Kevin's. Meanwhile, Eryx stood at the corner, watching keenly to see what Nova's response was going to be. He was angry with Kevin, and his rage was already steaming as he looked at Kevin, but he decided to keep everything under control and wait for the perfect time to utter a single word. As Nova looked into Kevin's eyes, she began to sense an iota of truth in his question. Maybe he's right after all. Doubts began to rise as regards the trust that she harbours for Eryx. Nova began to suspect that there could be more to Eryx that she ever knows. “I hate you! I regret meeting you,” Zephyr's vouce echoed, causing chaos in Nova's head

“You can come in now,” the secretary announced, ushering Eryx and Nova into the mayor's office. Eryx grabbed his briefcase, following behind Nova as they both briskly walked into the mayor's office. Eryx gasped in shock, slowly dropping his briefcase as he was offered a chair to sit down. “Kevin!” He exclaimed, arms folded as he remained standing, glaring at him with his jaw dropped. Kevin suffered from a mental illness, but it was shocking to see that he was alright now. Kevin let out a soft smile, looking at Eryx as he wallowed in a pool of evident surprise. “Are you being for real?” Eryx asked, finally letting out words from his open mouth. Kevin chuckled lightly. “Stop exaggerating everything.” “No. This is quite a huge shock. Are you now an assistant to the mayor? I must confess, I am more than surprised to see you here,” Eryx arched his eyebrows and gazed at Kevin in awe. Kevin smirked, keeping a calm demeanour as he looked at Eryx. “Just have a seat, Eryx,” he replied

Nova gasped in shock. The voice rang a bell in her head. She placed the phone on her ear, trying so hard to recall the voice. The pain behind the tone drove a wave of shock through her spine, forcing her to remain in a fixed position for a long time. But unfortunately, she couldn't remember anything. Her mind reeled, desperately trying to remember where she heard the voice from. Her brain was totally blank, and there was no use of trying so hard to force the memories out. “Hello!! Hello!! Is anybody there!!” The pain laced voice kept crying out through the phone, beckoning for an audience. Eryx walked into the sitting room, drying his body with a towel while putting on only a short. He was feeling very refreshed by the cold shower, and he kept whistling while walking into the sitting room. He quickly noticed his phone on Nova's ear, and quickly rushed towards her, grabbing the phone from her immediately. The cry out from the phone continued, persistently beckoning at the top o

Cutleries clinked against plates, teeth munched through the tasty meal sitting before them. Nova moaned passionately, enjoying her delicious meal. The sweet savour filled the whole room, coursing through their nostrils as they ate from their plates. “Do you love it?” Eryx asked, clearing his throat lightly as he tried to break the silence that filled the room. A soft smile registered on Nova's face while she continued eating her food. “Of course I do. This is great,” she gushed, passionately emptying the contents of her plate.“That's…” A strong knock was heard at the door. Eryx cleared his throat, adjusting his chair properly as he turned away from the door, his gaze fixated upon Nova. Nova's instincts piqued, with her eyes glued to the door. The knock came again. “Let me go and get the door,” she said, alighting from her chair desperately. Eryx quickly grabbed her hand, forcing her to halt immediately. “Just ignore it. Let's have our time,” Eryx insisted. But the knock p

Eryx glared straight into her eyes, his patience gradually getting tested as he waited to get an answer from Jane. Jane took a deep breath, throwing herself onto the sofa next to her. “Isn't it obvious?” She asked, teasing Eryx. “What do you mean?” Eryx’ eyebrows furrowed deeply, his unwavering gaze fixated on Jane. “I came here because of you. You're the reason I am in this city anyway,” Jane revealed, biting on her finger seductively as her gaze remained fixated upon Eryx. “What do you mean? List to yourself. I am not some baby that needs a nanny,” Eryx highlighted, trying so hard to keep his anger in check. “Look, I need to know what I am standing to gain from all of this,” Jane said firmly. Eryx took a seat in the bed, his eyebrows furrowed as he tried to understand why she was speaking the way she was. “Are you drunk?” Eryx inquired. “I need to know what I will gain after Nova falls in love with you and believes everything that you're saying,” she replied softly. “You m
